Woodside: Fence across stream draws scrutiny

Lengths of plastic tubing hang down over Alambique Creek like a curtain as the stream crosses into the Portola Road property of Tom and Stacey Siebel in Woodside. This section of fence did not get the usual scrutiny because it was built without a permit, according to Town Hall.

sounds like they made a decent effort to do the right thing and at least improved what was already there from an ecologic stand point. in terms of the aesthetic, it's in line with the k-rail and chain link fencing that surrounds the nearby area (shown in the photo). i heard they spent over a mil on the fence alone, so from the civic perspective, fine 'em and move on. they'll pay it from the dog's allowance.
